Ospreys return to Perthshire nest on same day

For the first time ever, both the female osprey NC0 and her mate LM12 have arrived back at the Scottish Wildlife Trust’s Loch of the Lowes Wildlife Reserve in Perthshire on the same day.

Perthshire ranger Sara Rasmussen said: “This is the earliest NC0 has ever arrived back and is looking in very good health after her long flight. She was ‘nestorating' straight away – giving the nest a tidy up. It is wonderful to have them both back together to breed and on the same day makes it extra special.”
